Only 1 week completely sober (YAY!), so I’m very new

Only 1 week completely sober (YAY!), so I’m very new to this. Is insomnia normal? Takes forever for me to fall asleep & I am completely DRAINED by noon. 😮‍💨

Great job! Take the “only” out of that statement. One week is amazing! Be proud of that. Sleep patterns are going to be a bit wonky for a while. That’s normal. Some other things that will come up are sugar cravings, mood swings, and the addiction trying to get back in your head. Keep fighting every day! You got this.

You’re totally right! This is the first time in a LONG time I’ve been this long completely sober & it’s definitely a new feeling. Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate the encouragement!

Completely normal! Sleep patterns vary, I know for me it took almost a year for me to really get back to normal and mood swings for sure ! I still get those today 2 years later ! But I don’t put one in me no matter what, even on my worst days it’s still better then my best days getting drunk and high keep chopping!! 1 week is a LONG time !! I could barely get a day not even an hour sober when I first walked into the rooms of AA.
